Here in Canada it is made worse by the fact that Coors and Molson are already in bed together. It really doesn't effect me much as I honestly never buy any of the Canadian big two (Labatt & Molson) when an alternative is present.

How much variety do you guys down south have when it comes to buying beer? I must admit that we are rather spoiled here in Ontario. Although beer is not available in regular stores, we have a "Beer Store" which provides us with hundreds of different beers to choose from when we go on a beer run.

Not a big fan of the merger, but I hope you guys go and support the little guy mircobrews to allow them a market share and ensure variety.

My biggest concerns with something like this is, how long will it be before Miller pulls out of Milwaukee? I know they say they won't, but i don't believe it. Schlitz was big here, they are gone, Pabst was here, gone also.
So i see it as lots of lost jobs for our area. Maybe i will be wrong. At least i hope i am. Milwaukee was "Beer town".....not anymore.
Also..........now with a merger, there is less competition, and now if one of them goes under, they take the other with them. I know they are huge, but big companies have gone belly up before.

But no Leinie's, which sucks. At least they sell it in Western NY now, so I can head down and load up the car before football season.

BUDWEISER???? (Or as i call it....."Buttwiper")

Drinking that made me sadder, "Bud-Weiser!!!" :lol:

Actually I should start drinking Bud more often. If that was all I drank I would be much more responsible drinker as the fear of crapping my pants at work would outweigh the joy of a night of drinking that preceded it.

Grasshopper is slang for something similar to a student... it isn't a bad thing...

With time and experience... you will no longer be a "Grasshopper"..

Thanks for clarifying that. Sorry G_B_P if you may have been offended by my comment. No intention, just trying to help you drink better beer is all. I wish someone would have tutored me at your age. I drank crap beer until I was well into my 20's.
